Biography
Friedrich von Pfalz-Simmern was born in Amberg in the Rhine Palatinate, and became the new Elector when his father died in 1610. In the 1620s he gave support to the Protestant Union during the Thirty Years War, capturing Munich in 1623, but the Holy Roman Empire reacted quickly and he was deposed shortly after. He fled to exile in the hands of his uncle Maurice of Orange, and died in Mainz in 1632.
